Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has publicly endorsed a post on X criticising alleged media’s attack of him by Mario Nawfal, the CEO of IBCgroup.io.
Nawfal’s tweet, shared by Musk himself, brings attention to several media headlines that allegedly misrepresent Musk’s actions and intentions.

One headline in question comes from Fortune magazine, which accused Musk of not doing enough to combat antisemitism. Nawfal’s response highlights a report indicating that an independent research firm found only a minimal percentage of social media hate speech impressions on Twitter, debunking Fortune’s claim.
Another headline, this time from Rolling Stone, accused Musk of ruining a website known as 𝕏, a platform Musk took over. Nawfal asserts that various metrics show an increase in the platform’s popularity, such as monthly users, user engagement, and video views.
NBC’s headline about civil rights groups launching a counter-offensive against Musk is met with skepticism by Nawfal, who questions the legitimacy of these groups and their motivations. The Atlantic’s article titled “Elon Musk’s Latest Target Hits Back” is also criticized for its portrayal of Musk as the aggressor instead of the ADL.
Nawfal concludes his tweet by questioning whether the media’s hatred towards Musk is stronger than their support for the ADL, implying a biased agenda against the entrepreneur.
While Musk’s decision to amplify Nawfal’s tweets has garnered attention, it has also triggered a broad debate among social media users.
Some argue that Musk’s endorsement lends credibility to the allegations against the media, while others dismiss it as a PR stunt or a diversion from other ongoing issues.

ADL-BACKED MEDIA ATTACKS ELON MUSK
As usual, the media is on the attack against Elon. Let’s debunk some of these headlines:
1. Elon Musk claims to be ‘against antisemitism of any kind,’ but has done precious little to prove it – Fortune
Precious little? Since Elon took over, an independent research firm found that “more than 99% of content users and advertisers see on Twitter is healthy,” and they estimated social media hate speech impressions “to be 0.003% compared to Twitter’s estimate of 0.012%.”
2. Elon Musk Blames ADL for Destroying Website He Ruined Himself – Rolling Stone
They say Elon destroyed 𝕏, yet all the metrics show the platform is breaking records (Monthly Users, User Minutes Per Day, Video Views)
3. Civil rights groups attacked by Elon Musk are mounting a counter-offensive – NBC
‘Civil rights groups’ 😂
4. Elon Musk’s Latest Target Hits Back – The Atlantic
Ironic how they call Elon the target, when the ADL ADMITTED to pressuring advertisers FOR MONTHS to leave 𝕏, dropping advertising revenue by 60%.
@elonmusk
finally hits back, yet somehow the ADL became the target and they are hitting back? 😂I don’t know what’s stronger, mainstream media’s HATE FOR ELON, or their LOVE FOR THE ADL?
